VICTIM OF LYNCH LAW.
a Nebraska Murderer Strung Up, Dying
With Curses on His Lips.

a Nebraska Murderer Strung Up, DJing
With Curses on His Lips.
NEBRASKA CRY, Neb., July 24.-The ex.
ecutlon of Hoffman, the train Wrecker on
Friday, was the incentive TO ons of the
best executed plans Of Judge Lynch ever
perpetrated In this part of the country.
For two days rumors have been ahoat that
an organized mob would make an attempt
to secure Lee ShellsnbeTger, the MUIR
derer of his little daughter. On Friday
night an attempt was to have been
made to lynch him, but the sheriff having
been forewarned, the mob was dispersed
by the militia 1t was supposed to have
been The end of the M tier, and, therefore,
citizens were rather surprised when it was
learned that this morning the vigilantes
had secured an entrance into the Jail last
night and hung Shellenberger.
An eye witness says the mob ap-
preached the court house about
2:30 a. m. noiselessly, masked, and well
armed. The guards being taken complete
ly by surprise we're easily overpoWered. An
effort to break il the heavy iron doors of
the corridors was fruitless and the sheriff's
otiicc which is dn ectly over the prisoners
cell was entered and an opening about three
by six feet was made in the floor through
which part Of the mob entered and in
which The condemned man was confined.
The door IVES broken Open and the prison
er dragged out in the court yard and rope
fastened around his peck. He declared
his innocence of the crime Of which he
wss charged and convicted and requested
bis body to be buried on the old nome
stead until he was proven innocent when
he should be removed to the side of his
dead father and buried like other people.
He never broke down and remained nervy
TO the last. He was strung up, dying with
curses on his lips as he said, I'm haunt
you SIS of b-s i'll can" The mob,
which was composed chiefly of German
farmers from the vicinity OF the murder
then disappeared. at one time yell
was raised 10 lynch the prisoners law.
yers also, which was agreed TO by q large
number of the mob, bat wiser counsel
prevailed.
TIE crime for which SheIIenberger was
lyDcbed was one of tie most atrocious aud
blacklist in the history of the State The
victim was Maggie ShelIeDbsrger, bright
child Of eleven years of age. A pril %, 1886,
Lee came to town and informed the coro.
ner and sheriff that his little daughter had
committed suicide. She was found at the
bottom of the cellar steps with two fright.
full cuts across her throat one almost
sevrlving the neck from the body. Shellen-
berger and his wife, stepmother to Maggie
we're arrested on su'picion, and a. their
trial he was convicted of murder and
sentenced TO hang, but secured another
bearing in tie Supreme Court, aud hia
execution was put off definitely. The
woman secured q change OF venue to Ian
caster County, and had her trial at Lincoln
several months ago. The fury failed to
agree.

Music and Musicians.

With its usual enterprise, the New York
Herald published n Thursday of last week
the music OF the new popular song known
as "Bo ulanger's March" 1t was suggested
by the recent grand military review at
Longchamps, and named in honor OF Gen.
BoulaDger. The music is said to bs bril-
liant and catchy, and has thoroughly cap-
tlvated Paris, where it resounds through
her streets continually. 1t was arranged
by Gilmore and Sousa for their bands i'm
mediately after the Herald's publication
and has been played to enthusiastic listen
ers at the White House grounds aud
Coney Island. Mr.. ]. B. Cameron, of this
orchestra, and We will soon have an op-
portunity to hear the latest musical sue.
cess upon our own streets.
PittsbuTg papers are filed with glowing
accounts of the Allegheny Saenperfest.
The enthusiastic Germans turned out e.,
mssse TO welcome their musical friends,
al d the decorations throughout the city In
the way OF flags, banners eyergreens and
gsrlands of flowers, are said to have been
unsurpassed. Pref. RohrbaCher made an
address of welcome in English, in which
ne told them Of the influence which Ger
mans had exerted upon affairs in the ma
ton. Among other things he said: al
Ian G. Thurman was of German descent.
and so was Thomas A. Hendricks. In
fact, all through the long line of Ameri.
can statesmen there could be found a vein
of German blood
There seems to be deep-seated
prejudice against the husband and
father by our ballad writers, while
the mother gets far better treat
ment. The father is generally depicted as
hopeless drunkard, who beats his wife
and staryes his children, as described by
such songs as Father, Dear Father, Come
Home With Ne Now" and "Sell no More
Drinks to Father" Even a revival of com
ic songs would be better than the present
deluge of wonderful drivel. "Father's
Teeth are Plugged With Zinc' and Fill
the Growler to the Brim" any ordinary
healthy man would sing in preference to
"a Flower From Grandmother's Grave
and 'See That My Grave is Kept Green"
The popular life of to-day is neither SO
melancholy nor of so desperate character
as to warrant ballad literature all of one
sombre color. Let US have something bright
and cheerful.
"Gather the Fairest of Flowers is the
